Now that I've been at my new job for a couple of days, I begin to see just how solitary and ascetic my previous working life was. In two days, I've consumed approximately as many calories at work as I consumed during the entire month of October. Yikes.

Maybe next time I'll get the lowfat bucket o' lard, rather than the regular one. Tasted good, though.

It's really strange being with people who like to eat together. For that matter, it's strange being with people.

It's also strange to feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to do what you want to do. None of the old cursing the clock, wanting it to speed up. It's a wonderful feeling.
